Vacation- Port St. Lucie, Florida

I can't believe it has been almost 2 months since my last post! The Organ household has been a little busy the last several weeks. Between everyday tasks, Red Suit Studio business, & and a new business project of my own (I will unveil in a future post:) I just haven't had the time to blog.

Since I am playing catch up this post will be dedicated to the Organ Family Vacation to Port St. Lucie. This year our trip to Port St. Lucie was a little different. Most of the time when we do a family trip with the Organs at least one of the other Organ boys & their families are around for the week. This year it was just Mom & Dad Organ and Mike & I. While we missed the other families, it was nice getting to spend one-on-one time with the parentals.

Our week in Port St. Lucie primarily consisted of golf, pool & eating. The weather was perfect, we were able to play 4 full rounds of golf and we also made it to the beach one afternoon.

We didn't get very many pictures during this trip, but here are a few of the ones we did take:

This picture was not staged!

The Ryder Cup was on display at the PGA Museum

What a great trip!

Organ Family Vacation Part 3: The Fountain

So here is the final post from the Organ Family Vacation. It is from one of our last evenings in Port St. Lucie. Amy found this great sushi restaurant that everyone wanted to try. The plan was after eating a wonderful dinner, we would grab ice cream and then head across the courtyard to an area that had fountains for Easton (& Mike) to play in.

He can't resist...ever! But that is why I love him:)

Please take note of the child in the dark t-shirt standing behind Mike. He is the one who eventually pooped in the fountain bringing all of our water fun to an end.

Here are the pictures of Easton in the fountains. There were so many that I had to put it in a slide show.

What a great place to spend a week with family. I can't wait to see where we go next year!

Organ Family Vacation Part 2: Golf

One of the main reasons we vacation in Port St. Lucie is so that the boys can play golf. This year the ladies even got in on the fun. This was my first time ever to play golf and I loved it!

Even though the men played pretty much everyday, I think the only time a camera was taken out on the course were the two days I played. I wanted to get a picture of the 3 guys in their golf get-ups, but I guess there is always next year. So here are a few pics I did get:

Round 1:

These are pictures from the first day I played golf. Phil, Amy, & Easton had a day to themselves. So while Dennis, Mike & I played, Sherry rode in the cart to cheer us along or maybe she came for a little laugh at my first attempt at the sport.

If you notice in the picture I actually missed the ball, and if you look closely enough you can see the chunk of grass that I took out of the tee box.

Round 2:

This round of golf was played the very last day of our vacation. The grandparents were nice enough to entertain Easton so the big kids could go play.

I had to include this picture. This was my tee shot on whole number 7!

The last few pictures are of a couple alligators that inhabit the water hazards on the course. Every year we go it is always fun to look for the alligators. This year they waited until the last day of our vacation to show up.

Organ Family Vacation Part 1: Dinner, Pool, & Beach

This past week was our annual Organ Family Vacation. Since Mike & I have dated we have been lucky enough to take a vacation with his family almost every year. Unfortunately not all the Organs could be there. Mike's brother David & his wife Belinda couldn't make it this year. They were missed, but we can't wait to go visit them in Switzerland!

For this year's vacation we ventured back to good ole' Port St. Lucie, Florida. Port St. Lucie is located about 45 minutes from West Palm Beach. Seven years ago while vacationing here Mike & I drove to West Palm Beach for the day and that is where he proposed. So Port St. Lucie will always hold a special place in my heart.

This trip was like any other Port St. Lucie vacation: pool, shop, & golf. We love vacationing here. With so little to do it leaves a lot of time to relax.

Dinner:

Our second night in Port St. Lucie we ate dinner at Mulligans, a fun outdoor restaurant.

This picture was taken to show the likeness of Phil's "Real Soul Patch" & Easton's "Cookie Soul Patch"

As we are walking back to the car after dinner Mike decides he wants his picture taken with this gigantic crawfish. And just in case you are wondering he only had water to drink for dinner:)

Pool Time:
